Carpe Diem

Books not guns, Culture not violence.

I am going to live for the color of grass. I am going to keep living because of that

Karen Piper, A Girl's Guide to Missiles

I gulp down the overflowing grief which spreads through me - like blood underneath the skin.

We are inseparable.

I feel completely lost- absorbed into him.

Now and then I find sherds of myself and cling onto it with all my strength until the grip loosens and everything, like everything else slips away like the fingers slowly slipping away from the clutch of a child in his sleep.

Isn't it interesting how we name everything around us - the streets, the stations, the shops, the houses - this city with all its people. How there is a history behind every little thing we come across everyday. Can we just stop and admire how it all means so much. If we could really read and find out what they mean, understand what they're all trying to say. That little lane you walk through everyday, who was it named after? Or that little roadside tea store, where does it's name come from? Or even talk about what our names mean. I'm overwhelmed by the amount of references that surrounds us everyday and how much we can learn just from a short walk down the street.

To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence.

Oscar Wilde

Someone wanna go with me on a long train ride through France and Italy and stop at little cafés and eat at corner restaurants and spend our nights drinking on the balcony of our hotel room?

I am in the mood to dissolve into the sky.

- Virginia Woolf

[starryeyedbeing]

The sky, you know, was gold, and the ground all blue, and for a moment he looked like some one in a book.
